Tony Bray joined Vectis in January right at the start of the stations history firstly as an advertiser and then as financial advisor guest and caught the bug of radio and started presenting in 2012, firstly the Toe Tapping Sunday show followed by his own business show in the afternoons but alas all good things come to an end as Tony left for Telford in October 2014 to start a new life with Sarah whom he me through the MND Charity, no doubt he got off the Island by swimming the Solent…………did you know about his swim?

Vicky Massey aka Vorders joined in 2012 and presented the early breakfast show on a Saturday morning and then team up with Tim Morris, a really sweet lady with a talent for making the best iced cakes in radio. Vorders left in May 2014 to go around the world with GKN.

Tim Morris joined Vectis Radio in 2012 and presented the Weekend Breakfast Show because for some reason he liked getting up early, a naturally funny man and a decent chap who fell ill in November 2013 and as we speak is recovering from a serious illness, we all wish Tim and family well, it goes without saying we all miss him and can’t wait for him to be well enough to return to the airwaves. *Update Tim is back on Vectis Radio presenting The Thursday Tea Time Show between 4-6.

Pete Walkden started with Vectis Radio in 2011 and presented the afternoon show with his next door neighbour Dan. Pete doubles up as a Priest by day with the catholic church and became too busy in 2013 to give the show his full attention, his flock needed him more but the door is wide open….
